Light golden color. Comes across obviously as heavily peated, but more funky than the Leviathan I. On the nose I get leather, moldy and wet wood, and a little dry cocoa. On the palate it is chewier than the Leviathan I. The peat and leather also continue. The finish is fantastic. It literally just pauses in the back of the throat and just lingers forever. Really good. For both the Leviathan I and II, I need to be in the right mood to drink, and I can never take huge quantities. But when I am searching for this flavor profile, this can really hit the spot. [8/7/13]
